Apple Butter on Boston Butts
Just the other day, I was thinking about doing this for ribs. We live close to some Amish communities and can find the "good stuff" pretty easy. Going to try it out on a ham I am double smoking for dinner tomorrow! Thanks! -
Question on Smoking Whole Head of Garlic
No, I haven't tried it yet. I'm planning to smoke a chucky on Sunday. If I can remember to throw one on, I'll let you know what the outcome is.- mike49107

Question on Smoking Whole Head of Garlic
I used to take a whole head of garlic, cut the top off (just enough to expose the cloves) and drizzle olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, or whatever spices/herbs paired well with the meat I was grilling, usually a nice thick steak. I would then wrap in foil and grill long enough to...- mike49107

Lumberjack Pellets
I have been reading quite a few posts where people are paying $1 or more per pound for pellets. It also seems that the Lumberjack pellets are fairly popular. I felt the need to pass this information along to those that may be looking for cheaper pellets. "Rural King" and "Big R" has them for...- mike49107

Big Butt
Yeah, I'm going to try to quit being so critical. I think it's due to just replacing a faulty meat probe that went from accurate one day, 10° hot the next day, +150° the day after that. This one was reading accurate ambient temp before the cook, and accurate grate temp during warmup. I just... -
Pulled pork live without a net
Looking good! But, looking at your pics just made me realize that in my haste and excitement getting my cook going last night, I forgot the drip pan under my butt. :( - Rookie mistake... -

I'm beginning to think my temp readings are way off. I just double checked chamber temp with my trusty oven thermometer and grate temperature at the meat is holding right at 225°, which is what I want. But, my meat probe is now up to 185° after only 10-1/2 hours. I'm no expert, but that seems... -

ksblazer, no. I don't spray or mop. I usually won't come back to it until it hits temp. I just woke up to check on it. It's been in for 7-1/2 hours now. It's about 4:30am, and I'm reading 175° IT. (Fingers crossed that my probe is reading correctly.) It was reading 105° two hours in... -

The anticipation has been killing me. I've been trying to get my GMG Jim Bowie dialed in for a couple of weeks now. I have been holding off on doing any long smokes until I got a better feel for things. I've also been holding off on getting the ThermoPro TP20 until Prime Days on Amazon. (Only... -
GMG Customer Service, Top Notch!
From my research, the meat probes are a known problem. Maybe they just keep a stockpile of them for this reason. Either way, I am impressed. For the record, I would have gladly paid for a replacement.- mike49107
